My Place 14

September 23, 2010

This particular snow all melted yesterday. Today we’re getting more—5-8 centimeters, so they say, and it looks like they are right. Today’s snow is not, I’m sure, destined to stay, either. Still, it’s a depressing sign of what will come sooner rather than later.

Thankful Thursday

I’m thankful for the opportunities to help that I had during the past week. I’ve received some wonderful help from others in the past and I love when I can do a little bit of the same sort of service.

I’m thankful that I got the rest of the garden in on Tuesday when it was  still a pleasant job because it would not be nice to be out digging in the garden today.

I’m thankful for my new daughter-in-law. While I’m thanking, I’ll thank God for my regular old sons and daughters, too.

I’m thankful for the new fencing the sons put up across the back of the yard yesterday. It’ll make life with the pup easier if we can just let him out in the yard and know that he’s stuck there. (He had taken to sailing over the old fence whenever he wanted his freedom.) I’m thankful that the perfect fencing was 1/2 price when I went shopping for it yesterday.

I’m thankful that God provides for me in more ways than I can even think to ask for.

On Thursdays throughout this year, I plan to post a few thoughts of thanksgiving along with Kim at the Upward Call and others. Why don’t you participate by posting your thanksgiving each week, too? It’ll be an encouragement to you and to others, I promise.
